《(TinCan) I Hate U.》suspect
Advertisement
Can - Tin, where are you?
When the ambulance arrived at Tin's workplace, Can also arrived. He got out of the car and went straight to his guards who were questioned by the authority. Citizens were all over the place wondering what happened as they were strictly shielded by securities.
Can - is anybody injured?
One of the guards who was closest to Can stepped forward to him.
Guard - one person couldn't make it, boss.
Can's heart felt fear instantly.
Can - what do you mean? I thought I told you guys to check it carefully.
Guard - (silenced for a moment) we're sorry.
Can - (look away angrily.) Did you guys find out who started the fire?
Guard - yes boss. It was a man. After the fire died down, he appeared suspiciously and was trying to escape the scene. We caught him and he confessed immediately that he was the one.
Can - where is he now?
Guard - there. (Pointed to where the police dragged the man to sit inside a police car. He was handcuffed.) He's going to custody.
Can narrowed his eyebrows when he saw the man's face.
Can - that's... that's the man from earlier.
A middle-aged detective and a police officer marched to Can and greeted him.
Officer - Mr. Can, this is detective Kim, he's in charge of what happened here. He would like to ask you some questions.
Can nodded at them but still sensed an uneasy feeling towards the man he saw.
Kim - hi Mr. Can. So you're the one who's in charge of these highly guards?
Can - yes, that's me.
The detective raised an eyebrow at him, for some reason, Can felt like his staring was kind intimating.
Kim - I gotta say, without them, this fire would have been a mess. (Stared straight into Can's soul) but I find it funny that you have your men patrolling the area on the night that the fire existed as if you knew exactly that there will be a fire. Do you have anything to back you up on that?

Can scoffed. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Can - I came here from Krung Thep two weeks ago, sir. This company here is very important to me because it belongs to someone I love very much. I have my men stay in guard here every day, not just today. I have prove for that too if you would like to see it.
The detective showed a bit of fluster but not for long, he went straight back to being overconfident.
Kim - Sorry to make you angry. You have got to understand that I am doing this because of my job. If you get heated because of some questions, it might be a problem, Mr. Can.
Can - I think you should really look deeper into this issue instead of directly accuse an innocent. And the man who is in custody, I'm pretty sure he is not the culprit. He was talking to me at Residential Care while the fire started here.
The detective narrowed his eyes at Can and Can comprehended that he did not believe him.
Kim - (nodded) I apologize again, Mr. Can. If that's the case, would you come to the police station with me?
Can - gladly.
Can moved forward, following Detective Kim from behind as his guard whispered to him from the back.
Guard - boss, there's something I need to tell you.
Can kept walking but he was listening.
Guard - the person who died in the fire...(paused and was afraid to say the next.)
Can - what?
Guard - (stuttered) oo-okay... we don't know for sure who he is because he was completely burned...but... (voice was shaking) his body portion and everything matches... Mr. Tin.
Can suddenly stopped his steps from walking. He was paralyzed to the spots, the fear became so powerful, he couldn't move.
Guard - Boss, were you be able to get a hold of Mr. Tin at all?
"No..."
Before he came here, Can couldn't get hold of Tin.

"This can't be..."
He dropped to his knees and his guard quickly grabbed him.
"Tin... no...Where are you, Tin?"
The detective noticed Can not following him. He also stopped walking.
Kim - Mr. Can, what are you waiting for? Let's head to the station now.
Can - Detective Kim...
His breath was trembling as he whimpered through the complexion of worrisome. He slowly stood up with the assistance of his guard.
Can - I need to see the victim who died in the fire.
Kim - I'm afraid I can't let you do that. You have to go with me now.
Can - I'm not going with you until I see the victim's body!
The raised of Can's voice made the detective wavered, but he just let out a sigh.
Kim - if you don't cooperate with me I'm afraid I'm going to have to use force. As for right now, Mr. Can, you ARE a suspect.
*Police station*
The man stood up from his chair aggressively while his wrists were cuffed together. The officers sat on the other side of the desk were screaming him to sit back down. Can was sitting next to the man, feeling miserable and angry due to not being able to see the dead body of the victim. His heart could not be at ease if he doesn't know who the dead person is.
Officers pushed the man back down to his seat.
Man - I'm telling you all the truth. I'm the one who set the fire! Please! Put me in jail! I'm dangerous to everyone!
Detective Kim walked to where the man was and pointed to Can.
Kim - but that gentleman said he was talking to you while the fire started.
The man turned brutally at Can.
Man - no he was not! I don't know him!
Kim - (looked at Can who was still in his devastated mood) Can, what do you have to say about this?
Can didn't want to answer any questions right now. He just wants to get out of here. But if Tin WAS the person who dies... then this crazy man right here, who keeps demanding to be in prison, was the cause of everything. Can was pretty sure of it.
Can slowly looked at the man in the eye.
Can - who are you? Why did you come looking for Tin? What do you know?
His voice was soft, almost unstable as if his heart would break any second. The man couldn't even look at Can in the eye.
Can - what are you trying to protect?
His last question made the man's tearing eyes looked into his. The man began to cry.
Can - I'm trying to help you here and in return, you turned me into a suspect. Why? Did someone order you?
Man - (choked in tears) I don't need your help. The only one who can help me is Mr. Tin. If you can't find him for me, then get lost.
There Can have it. It's not the time for him to patiently trying to talk it out with this guy. Instead of finding Tin, he was stuck here with a person who doesn't need his help. What the fuck is that?! Anger rushed inside of him and made him jump out of his chair.
Can - fine, then you can go to jail.
Can turned, wanting to get out of there just when he bumped into...
Can - (eyes widen) Tin?
Tin holds onto Can's shoulders, looking worried.
Tin - why are you here?! (Pulled Can into a hug) Are you okay?!
Can's heart stopped. It was so sudden, he couldn't process that the person who was hugging him... Was Tin right now.

VOID EMPIRE: IMPERIAL MAGE
Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. The exalted mage lords of the Empire have ruled for over two thousand years. Keeping the Empire safe from the tribes of beast kin and the void monsters that break into reality. A world on the edge of the great universal tree, a bastion against the ever-encroaching void. The realm of the dead and souls is far. The touch of the Gods and Goddesses is faint and growing weaker. This is a Litrpg / Gamelit where I am seeking to explore the idea where an Empire like Rome made it to the Edwardian/Victorian period. With all the decadence and kinky/bdsm stuff, Rome was known for, intact and evolved. Think pride and prejudice but the complete opposite of prudish. This story contains explicit scenes. This is not a collect slave women to bang story. This is not an endless struggle grind. The character is OP. The character is figuring out how to adapt his power to the world. Last, I will point out, glass is five hundred time sharper than steel and can be sharpened down to just a single atom in thickness. Please leave a review and rating as it helps me improve my writing. Feedback is always appreciated; I hope you enjoy. I am working on my grammar as well and hopefully it will improve, through editing. As It has never been a strong suit of mine. chapters Sat 7 pm... until the series is complete.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Authority [Dropped]
Notice: Updates are set to every other day. Or to be precise every 2-3 days. Thank you! "The theory of evolution was introduced by Charles Darwin and it baffled the world. Going by the same principle as Darwin's theory all living organisms by nature are capable of evolution to an extent. Evolution in games are always just limited however this is not a game but rather reality. However the only thing that stagnates the whole premise of evolution is the environment. Environment is always the number one factor of evolution. Going by that logic. Stimulation for survival is needed to evolve and better suit the environment. " - Titus

SWTOR: The Alpha Legacy - Alexandra 'Under the Black'
This was the first character backstory and first full story in The Old Republic era after 'Project Alpha: A Summary: 'Old Republic to Current Operational Era'. This one was actually written much later. Several of the full stories were done and there was a need to introduce the Mother of several of the main characters. Much later on I started a timeline and this seemed to fit nowhere else, but right after the introduction story: Alexandra De'nabre lost everything on one of the moons of Felucia. But life found her again. As a Mirialan Jedi, she was sworn to the Unity and to the Force; casting both away once she believed both left her. The Force finds her again.
